STOVE 'ATTACHMENT;

Application filed February 26, 1924,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT Enunsr, JAMES, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of Natchez, in the county of Adams and State of Mississippi, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stove Attachments, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to attachments for kerosene stoves and has for its object the provision of a device adapted to beconnected to the feed pipe of a stove for collecting foreign matter-that is carried by the fuel and which ordinarily clogs the restricted passages leading to the burners.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a transparent container adapt ed to be placed in the feed line of an oil stove and receive the fuel passing through said line to permit settling out of any detritus carried by the fuel. a

A further object of the invention is the provision of a container adapted to be con nected to a fuel feed pipe of an oil stove for collecting foreign matter from the oil and which may be readily inverted with" out removal from the feed pipe for discharging foreign matter collected in the con tainer. Y v

This invention will be best understood from a consideration of the following detailed description, in view of the accompanying drawing forming a part of the specification; nevertheless it is to be understood that the invention is not confined to the disclosure, being susceptible of such changes and modifications which shall. define no material departure from the salient features of the invention as expressed in the appended claims.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a front .view of an oil stove showing a device constructed according to the principles of my invention, applied to the fuel feed pipe of said stove.

Figure 2 is an elevation of the device for collecting foreign matter from the fuel.

Figure 3 is a vertical section of the same.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, 1 designates an oil stove having a fuel tank 2, a fuel feed line 3 and by-passes t to the various burners of the stove. The outer end of the feed pipe 3 is usually closed by a cap screw and which may be removed at any time desired for cleaning the pipe 3. p

In applying my device I remove the usual end screwed into the union 5 Serial No 695,318.

screw cap and secure my device constructed in accordance with the principles of my invention by means of a union 5 to the threaded end of the pipe 3. A short connection 6 having' its opposite ends threaded has one end inza horizontal arm of the T-ioint "5. Into the upper internally threaded end of the T connection '4" is threaded a standpipe 8 which has its outer end threaded as shown at 9 to receive a cap. screw 10. A washer 11 made of any suitable material for the pur .poseds-adapted to be mounted within the inner end ofthe cap screw 10 for engaging the upper end of the stand pipe 8 for sealingthe upper end of the pipe when the cap is screwed down tight upon the same.

Screwed into the lower internally threaded end of theT connection 7 is a pipe 12 having a threaded lower end as shown at 13 adapted to receive a washer 14. The neck 15 of a transparent container 16 is adapted to receive the washer 14 which forms between the threaded end 13 of the pipe 12 and the inner wall of the neck 15 of the and its other container, a seal and the'washer also forms '16 than it ordinarily does in the feed pipe;

3 and therefore any detritus or foreign matter carried by the oil and passing through the feed pipe to the connection 12 will settle out and be deposited at the bottom of the container 16. The container being transparent, foreign matter that is collected in the same is visible and therefore whenever desired the T 7 may be revolved upon its threaded connection 17 on the end of the pipe 6 after the cap 10 has been opened, and r the vertical position of the container reversed, as shown in Figure 1, when the foreign matter will be discharged from the con tainer. The T 7 is then reversed in position and the cap 10 again screwed upon the outer end of the stand pipe 8 and the stove is again ready for operation. i

It will be, seen that by my improved de- *ice the foreigninatter, such as scales and dirt which is carried in by the fuel, is carried along with the fuel towards the end of the pipe 3 and deposited in the container 16 which may be removed at any convenient time, thus preventing clogging of the restricted passages adjacent the valve which controls the flow of fuel to the several burners of the stove.

What I claim is:

1. An attachment for oil stoves adapted to be screwed upon the outer free end of the feed pipe of an oil st ve and comprising a T-joint having a threaded connection adapted to receive the threads on the end of the feed pipe, pipes extending vertically in opposite directions from the T, a cap for closing the outer free end of one pipe and a container adapted to be secured to the outer free end of the other pipe.

2. An attachment for oil stoves adapted to be screwed upon the outer free end of the feed pipe of an oil stove and comprising a T-joint having a threaded connection adapted to receive the threads on the end of the feed pipe, pipes extending vertically in opposite directions from the T, a cap for closing the outer free end of one pipe, and a transparent container adapted to be secured to the outer free end of the other pipe.

3. An attachment for oil stoves adapted to be screwed upon the outer free end of the feed pipe of an oil stove and comprising a T-joint having a threaded connection adapted to receive the threads on the end of the feed pipe pipes extending vertically in opposite directions from the T, a cap for closing the outer free end of one pipe, and a transparent container adapted to be secured to the outer free end of the other pipe, the connection between the T-joint and the fuel feed pipe permitting rotation of the T for reversing the vertical position of the con tainer whereby the same may be discharged of foreign matter collected therein.
